Jags had a formal meeting with Marshall QB Chase Litton at combine

It appears that Lamar Jackson isn’t the only quarterback who has met with the Jacksonville Jaguars at the combine as it was reported by Mike Kaye of First Coast News that the team also met with Marshall quarterback Chase Litton.

The #Jaguars had a formal meeting with Marshall QB Chase Litton at the NFL Combine, per league source.

Litton, 22, has played in a total of 34 games while with the Herd dating back to his freshman season and managed to accumulate a 60.8 completion percentage for 8,335 yards, 31 interceptions and 72 touchdowns. His efforts were ultimately good enough to lead Marshall to an 8-5 record in 2018.

Earlier in the week, Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell told the media that the team will further evaluate the backup quarterback position as Chad Henne’s contract is set to expire this month. Additionally, the Jags need to start looking for a plan B just in case Blake Bortles doesn’t prove to be worth the three-year extension he signed in February.

According to various draft outlets Litton is projected to go anywhere from the fourth to the fifth round of April’s draft. Scouts seem to be impressed by his size 6-foot-5, 230 pounds and mechanics. However, Litton’s decision making and lack of mobility are often pointed out as his two biggest flaws.
